General Psychology Psychology 1 Section 08 ... - Foothill College

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance and participation are critical to this course. Your participation score will be measured by:
attending class, taking good notes, being present and engaged, contributing to class discussions, and
participating in group activities (there will be several throughout the semester). Participation will be a
significant factor in your final grade. We will have aprox. 20 days of instruction and each day of your
attendance and participation will be worth 1 point toward your final grade (days in which there are group
activities will be worth 2 pts). Thus, by simply attending and participating in class you will be earning
points toward your final grade.
Because we have so much interesting material to cover, it is also critical that you arrive to class ON
TIME. An attendance sheet will be distributed at the beginning of class and students who arrive 10+
min. late will be marked absent.
In order to avoid an unexcused absence, you must contact me before class VIA E-MAIL or PHONE
